Does anyone else identify as nonbinary but not trans? Like technically I’m transgender but the label just doesn’t really feel right to me *personally*

being trans doesn’t require any sort of medical transitioning! use whatever labels you want ofc but it can also be important to look into WHY being labeled as trans might make you uncomfortable

My aunt does not see themself as trans but when trans people are being disrespected will say they’re trans just to be like “hey don’t say that people around you are trans.” I feel like that’s pretty common for nonbinary people who don’t transition and aren’t trying to like “pass as nonbinary”

Like as of right now I have no plans to do any kind of medical transition and barely try to be androgynous these days, so calling myself trans just feels kinda weird. Idk

Sort of? I’m not against being called trans at all, and I don’t ID as cis. But I’ve been told by many trans people that it’s offensive for nonbinary people who don’t take hormones to call themselves trans. I don’t agree, but I don’t like arguing or being insulted like that (I think transmed is the word, that group I think is who doesn’t like it)

being trans just means being aligned to a gender that was not your assigned sex at birth - there’s no requirement or rules on how to be trans

Oh I know and I completely agree with that, it’s just for me personally I feel weird using that label 😅 it makes me feel like I have to prepare to explain myself whereas nonbinary is more to-the-point

A lot of people think trans just means ftm or mtf so I guess it just saves me the headache of trying to explain the specifics lol

Thats pretty much what I do tbh, it’s cool to see I’m not the only one
